Guya, i know this question is not new. But can any mpv grab drivers (or 6 seater) grab drivers give their opinion about this?
I am currently only driving grab with a myvi, i am thinking to upgrade my car to a six seater and accept justgrab, grabcar and grab 6 seater jobs. Does the earnings better? I mean how many 6 seater jobs can get in a day? (Rough estimate)
Thanks in advance
Strongly not advise to change to 6 seater if you think to maximize your income vs investment.
Why?
- price is bad, you get merely 30-40% more fare than justgrab but you got to carry 50% more passengers, and 6seaters are normally more premium than majority justgrab, in the end passengers enjoy better car at lower rate.
- passengers may treat you as lorry/truck and expect you to move their house (tilam, furniture, tv etc without informing)
- if passengers have lots of luggage/boxes/bags, you may waste long time loading/unloading, often they won't have everything ready at their pup so you have to wait them moving all their stuff from hotel/house. In the end you earn much lesser per minute/hour.
- don't be surprised if there are 7-8 adults waiting for you at pup without informing
- pup are generally farer, in the end you get less profit per minute/km
- oku with wheelchair will often order 6seater, so expect longer loading/unloading time, if you target good profit/minute job you'll be losing here, a lot
- you have to get down of your car to help passengers open the access to your last row all the time, because most of them don't know how. So you have to waste extra few minutes just to park your car somewhere safe, get down your car, open seats, close seats during every pick up/drop off. During rainy season you have to get wet for peanut jobs all the time.
In the end, you may earn a little more than normal grabcar but you will gone through more suffer, and higher maintenance fee for your car. It is not very worth it with current fare/rate.
